[...] Not surprisingly, digital activist organizations and their members offer a different perspective. Rather than using the pejoratives of slacktivism and clicktivism, these organizations and activists prefer to frame their efforts as Activism 2.0 – a new form of social activism for the Millennial Generations where “people integrate activism and supporting their causes into their regular routines”.

[...] As an avid historian, I was intrigued by the book’s thread about a significant moment in 16th century Transylvania and Hungarian history. While Barabasi attempted to graft that story into the science about human behavior patterns, it was quite tenuous. In reading the Amazon book reviews when I went to get the hyperlink for this post, I found I’m in good company with that. While the ride was fun and interesting, I ended up with fewer notes than The Smart Swarms. [...]
